You will find that there will be times when the resource you need to consult is not available from the library's collections. In this scenario there are a number of options available to you to try and get hold of the materials you need:
If all physical copies of the item you require are on loan, simply place a request for it in Primo. You can also place a request to borrow a journal overnight.

As a legal deposit library, the National Library of Wales houses over 7 million books readily available for use. You can search the library catalogue online to find collections. You'll find further information along with a list of resources on the NLW Resources page.
If you can’t find a book you’re looking for in the library, you can place a request for it via the More Books campaign (Students only).
Each book ordered through the campaign will be placed in the library collection.
